[news] The Top 5 Things I Need When I Am Homeless

[Resist!ca]

I am going through homelessness in America yet again, due to being borne into the non-land owning caste, and class prejudice that is unconscionable. And as I battle through this insane maze that defies logic and humanity, putting profits before people and their right to dignity, I am identifying certain reoccurring needs throughout these repeating homelessness cycles in life. My current needs are 1) Daily Storage, 2) Phone Contact, 3) Privacy, 4) Daily Space I Am Allowed to Be In, and 5) Access to Bathrooms. Those are the things I need just to survive and stay homeless. To actually obtain housing, I also need access to a never ending stream of $40 application fees, and some land owner who will rent to someone with a perfect rental history for the last 5+ years, but who has bad credit.
